# Matrix (Synapse)
Matrix is an open standard for secure, decentralized, real-time communication. This deploys the Synapse homeserver for self-hosted Matrix federation and messaging.
## Dependencies
- **PostgreSQL** - Database for storing messages and account data
- **Redis** - Used for inter-worker communication
## Configuration
Key settings configured through your instance's `config.yaml`:
- **domain** - Where the Synapse web client will be accessible (default: `matrix.{your-cloud-domain}`)
- **serverName** - Your Matrix server identity, used in user IDs like `@user:{serverName}` (default: `{your-cloud-domain}`)
- **enableRegistration** - Whether to allow public account creation (default: `false`)
- **storage** - Persistent volume for Synapse data (default: `50Gi`)
- **mediaStorage** - Persistent volume for uploaded media (default: `100Gi`)
- **SMTP** - Email delivery settings inherited from your Wild Cloud instance
## Access
After deployment, the Synapse homeserver will be available at:
- `https://matrix.{your-cloud-domain}`
Connect using any Matrix client (Element, FluffyChat, etc.) with your server name.
## First-Time Setup
1. Add and deploy the app:
```bash
wild app add matrix
wild app deploy matrix
```
2. Use the registration shared secret (in your `secrets.yaml`) to create your first admin account, or enable public registration temporarily
3. Connect with a Matrix client and start messaging
